2022 was a year to celebrate for thousands of Mecca Bingo’s online players, with the total prize money given away across the website and app reaching a jaw-dropping £1.3 billion – enough money to visit Disneyland Paris over 13.8m times or buy a takeaway pizza for every person in the UK, and still have change left over for some sides!
The biggest single win of the year was £47,650, won by a lucky resident in Wirral on the Burst Bingo game. Glasgow was crowned the luckiest city in terms of overall prize money, sharing £1.8m amongst 3,301 bingo and slots players, while the North West had the most wins of any region, with 28,551 players bagging over £10.3m.
The cities with the highest number of big money winners were Aberdeen, Falkirk, Liverpool, Sunderland and Swansea, all of which had three residents in the top 100 jackpot wins.
Anthony Conroy, director at Meccabingo.com, said:
“It has been a fantastic year of online fun at Meccabingo.com. Our members come to play, but also to chat and we have a great online community. Congrats to all the winners and here’s to 2023 delivering bigger wins for players all-round!
